Of course everyone knows by now how much I loathe the likes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and people who text while driving. Well I now have a new group that I curse. That's right! It's people that illegally use the car pool lanes on the freeway. There is a special place in Hell for those individuals that blatantly fly along in the HOV lane like they don't have a worry in the world. The other day on the 405 I noticed this woman in a beat up Toyota Corolla slipping into the HOV lane. At first I thought perhaps she had a baby or possibly a little person in the car with her, but after further scrutiny I determined that all that was in the car was her and a mass of kinky red hair that was in dire need of a hot oil treatment. So not only was she an illegal car pool user, but a Ginger with bad hair at that. This of course made me loathe her even more. I seethed as she zipped along in the HOV lane. I contemplated shooting out her tires with my x-ray vision or sending a heat seeking missile up her tail pipe. I searched frantically through my console for an unused voodoo doll, but with no luck. In the end I simply cursed her and assigned her soul to a special place in Hell along side Paris, Lindsay, the Kardashian whores and Sarah Palin. Until we meet again...until we meet again!!!

It seems the Hilton family might want to look into getting a group discount. Proving once again that being ultra rich does make you ultra smart. I do applaud the judge for hitting them where it hurts. If the justice system really wants to improve society they should try court order sterilization.

Unless you live in Southern California I'm sure you can't understand what all the fuss is about. So what they are shutting down the freeway for the weekend! Who cares??? Well in a city where distance is measured in time and not miles the closing of a freeway that carries more than 500 thousand vehicles a day is nothing to sneeze at. I plan on staying home this weekend and not getting in or near a car. Let all the other crazy people try to navigate this one.

You know I have always believed in honesty. It has always been my greatest asset and at the same time my greatest liability. Telling the truth has saved me, but it has gotten me in so much trouble. It has been said that the unexamined life is not worth living. Tonight I discovered another secret about a friend. I always thought I was really good at reading people, but tonight I figured something out. This person, who I do truly care about, considers me one of his best friends. I will say this...Most people don't surprise me, but this person shocked the hell out of me. I tend to think that I am just one person with not much more to offer than what you see, but this person makes me feel like a million bucks. I don't always claim to understand what goes on in the heart of another man,but having a glimpse into the heart of a friend is more than I could ever ask for.

On this day in 1964, President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. This legislation ended the use of discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin. By the middle of the 20th century slavery had been abolished for nearly 100 years, yet African Americans in Southern states still faced disenfranchisement, segregation and threats of violence. Deeply entrenched “Jim Crow” laws at the local and state levels barred them from classrooms and bathrooms, from theaters and train cars, from juries and legislatures. The brave citizens who boycotted buses, staged sit-ins at lunch counters, organized voter registration drives and the students who faced angry mobs to attend desegregated schools forever changed American society.Isn't it odd how America is the land of the free, yet we as a country have and continue to discriminate against those that are different? The fight for equality has never been an easy one. From the Native American Indians to the African Americans to Women's Rights to Gay Rights, the fight for freedom has always been a long and arduous road. On this July 4th weekend, let us remember those that have given so much for that fight and hope for a day when ALL Americans are truly free.

Well this makes sense, America. A drive in fast food chain wants to sell beer & wine to its customers. Does anyone else see the irony in this? Let's see...beer + car = DUI. Maybe they would like offer a free handgun with every purchase of a kid's meal, too.
